i'm kinda mad that i'm like right at the cut off point in terms of intelligence like...if i was just a tiny bit stupider i would actually be able to enjoy life but unfortunately my brain is big enough to have complex thoughts and question things

The "kids are on their damn phones all the time" conversation has changed in an extremely significant way and I'm not sure people realize it. When kids had flip phones, and even in the early days of smartphones, kids were using their phones to text each other. It was part of an active social life. Now they're using their phones more and more to consume content from influencers or other accounts. It's more passive and it's increasingly what people are doing instead of socializing with each other. This applies to adults too, I just keep thinking about high school students.
